  • World’s Cup not plural or possessive

    Two weeks now Danny really bad.

    Syracuse, who self-confessed a ton of research heading into the World Cup.

    But then repeatedly can’t annunciate the tournaments correct name. World Cup it is not plural. Disappointing.

    Otherwise, I like Danny with Colin, but he has to be better.

    No one could just text him during the hour long podcast. He did it all day.

  • What sports media is missing!!

    This is an exceptional podcast. The host stands out for his honesty and humility—he isn’t afraid to admit when he’s wrong, own his flaws, and still connect in a genuine way with both his family and everyday listeners.

    I look forward to every episode, and I never miss anything he releases. The range of guests is outstanding, bringing fresh stories and diverse perspectives on sports over the years.

  • Elite no more…

    The elitist Colin “Cowturd” has bought and is selling the media coolaid on ND! Listened for a very long, very disappointed in your ND take, doesn’t fit anything you’ve ever said about having the best teams in. Don’t give me schedule - A&M beat us by 1 point and Ark by only 3 points - a team we crushed at their place 56-13!!! ND could’ve won this year if they had been let in. 5 SEC teams is a joke and you know it, but you’ve been an SEC homer for years (though you’re trying to jump off that bandw... more
